Does "tab section" mean a checkbox, or how is that different than a regular cleaning rule?

There so many applications for Linux and Windows, and I am concerned some of them create empty files or folders as place holders, semaphores, or for other reasons. For example, Firefox creates an empty .parentlock file

On Linux you can find them like this
find ~ -size 0

On Windows
forfiles /c "cmd /c if @fsize==0 echo @file"
